Vitamin D3 affects cell differentiation in specific skin areas.

This minireview discusses a proposed model of the vitamin D receptor that explains how 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 can mediate both genomic and rapid responses through different ligand shapes and cellular locations, without presenting new research findings.

This review summarizes the proposed model that describes how different shapes of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 ligands interact with the vitamin D receptor to mediate genomic and rapid responses in cells.

This study found that mice lacking the vitamin D receptor (VDR) developed skin tumors more rapidly than those with normal VDR activity, regardless of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) presence.

This study suggests that unliganded vitamin D receptors in mice may cause more severe skeletal and mineral ion defects than VDR-null conditions, and vitamin D analogues may restore function in specific VDR mutations.
